The bulk of the re-rigged and new-for-LaraX clothes seem to be sexy stuff, for half-naked girls. Still looking for clothes that I would wear to go shopping or to visit Mom.

I find I have to re-order the layers quite a lot (Maitreya+Lelutka+any-bom layers). The hairbase bom looks to be at the bottom of the list of layers (so under the skin bom) until I do 'Edit Outfit', and then immediately 'Edit Outfit Parts', using the Firestorm viewer. It's as if that process 'stimulates' the re-layering to be correct.

I have had some success with Warm, but it is very expensive (L$2500), and has a steep learning curve. For that much you can buy a lot of clothes! https://marketplace.secondlife.com/p/Warm-Full-Body-Deformers-HUD/24812569 I'll be interested in other replies.

I think there is also the 'political' reason for sticking with Onyx and Maitreya. They have been super loyal to their customers through the years, and that cannot be said of certain other popular body makers. Many of the clothes makers will give us free updates to LaraX over time, and many will want to sell more new clothes. I know which ones I am going with.

or.... LL saw a way to charge a VAST amount of REAL DOLLARS for changing a database entry... and we Clueless Captain Oldbies encouraged them, because we have Real Dollars to burn on such frivolities.

Useful if you sit on the....

and when we say 'new', this V5 script has been out for years, but many of the Big Name (like Blueberry, for instance) clothing designers still use the V4 script (and make it no-mod, of course). So for them the only recourse is to use the 'Show all' button in the Lara(X) hud - Alpha page to reset after putting the item on, before doing your own cut settings. I am now boycotting all V4 script users, unless they let me delete the script. That includes Blueberry sadly.

Well I started off negative about this. I still think the marketing is atrocious, but.... There is a full-body Lara Petite (not X) hidden in there, and that means my boobs won't pop out if I accidentally remove the add-on while getting ready for (bed). Now I got something out of this too.

Well, I woke up to this! Got my LaraX Petite, and I am totally underwhelmed. I do not want a GenX THICK butt. If I wanted a thick butt I'd have bought Slink Cinnamon. The sad thing is all the designers who are saying that they will be only working on Twitter (formerly known as LaraX) from now on. Sheesh. Maybe it's time to make a male avi and go to Nille's.

Sim crossings.

The other Lucybody bodies are mostly BoM only, no HUD, but the Atenea has an alpha-cut HUD. I don't like Atenea much, it scores too high on complexity, but the other Lucybodies are excellent for specific uses due to their low complexity. I like Lucybody Vania as a low-weight Lara Petite - one good thing about it is that chest does not respond to the shape sliders, so you can use them to fix the fitting of clothes. The other thing to say is that the creator, @Ongoe Allen, is very accessible on Discord, and responds to questions well.

Have you seen the thing they want you to sign before you can take money out at their ruinous exchange rate? Not worth it for under US$10... @Prokofy Nevahas the best answer. IMO.

Why couldn't they have called it MetaLara, instead of Lara Musk X?

Hey! I am so pleased! I got one too.... Usually, as a Linux user, I laugh at malware scams.

I posted this on Discord: I don't understand people who can't wait. When Lara X hits, you'll know - and then you can import billions of Lindens to update your wardrobe... Fun! P.S. Can you call it something other than X please. X has connotations something billionaires do to perfectly good Social MeMeMeja platforms. (and not MetaLara either!)

Sheesh, I was 8 in 2003.... Didn't the flood come just about then?

BoM is your friend. You can add lots of layers of BoM onto a base skin. That's how I do it anyway: p.s. I'm not very good at photography in SL....

Does it run on Linux? I'm always looking for a new viewer that runs on Linux. Proly not.....

At the height of the pandemic my partner of 6 years told me in-world that she was off to hospital having failed a Covid test. Never heard another thing from her. I assume she died. As we lived on different continents in RL, we never did exchange RL identities, so there is no way to check. Long before that I had a good friend who just disappeared one day, never to return. Mutual friends had the same experience. I still keep both names in my Friends.

I just don't buy from Marketplace, ever. Simples.

Deo gratias!

at least the rant is on the Forum. Just think how bad it would be to have this in-world.

Forget it. I just realised, she was already a friend. Early senility....

I wanted to friend someone, but the 'Add Friend' button is greyed out. Any ideas why? I do have RLVa on, but I don't know how to fix this.

Very weak chest, and no arm muscles to speak of, all butt. Runs away a lot.
